People have conquered space. But centuries passed, and the technology began to fall into disrepair, because the new religion - Helionism - declared science a heresy. Humanity is divided into Grands, living in starship fortresses, and Superfluous, inhabitants of colony planets. To punish the Empyrean family for heresy, the cruel Emperor summons Sidonia, the daughter of the Accursed Heretic, to the court, where she faces execution. But her place is taken by Nemesis - Diabolik, an artificially created bodyguard who knows no fear or pity. She would break her enemy’s neck in cold blood, but who knew how fragile the heart of a soulless creature becomes when love blossoms in it. For the first time in Russian!
